Summer Leadership Institute (SLI)
TASB's annual Summer Leadership Institute (SLI) is our flagship training conference designed to offer new and experienced school trustees a place to create their own learning journey.
Each year at SLI, we:
- Share key information with new board members
- Offer practical tips for newly elected board officers
- Provide experienced trustees with innovative practices and emerging trends
Our members have a choice to attend the SLI event that best fits their schedule and location preference – in San Antonio or Fort Worth. The two events are nearly identical in schedule, session offerings, and general session speakers.
Session Submissions Now Open!
The session submission application for Summer Leadership Institute(s) opens Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, and closes Sunday, Mar. 15, 2026.
We invite you to share your expertise and contribute to an enriching learning experience for Texas school board members. Preference is given to proposals that feature innovative, evidence-based content, engage audiences through interactive instructional design, and provide real-world relevance through case studies. Help inspire and inform trustees with fresh perspectives and impactful discussions. Don’t miss this opportunity—submit your session today!
Before applying, please review the following:
- TASB Presenter Agreement
- SLI Session Proposal Guide
- TASB’s TEA Provider Application Guide
Individuals wishing to present a session at SLI should have at least one (1) of their presenters registered using TEA’s New Registered Provider application. This presenter will be identified as the registered provider, and their provider number will be displayed on CEC slides and credit reports accessible to board and their districts. Session without a registered provider will be noted in the program as ineligible for training. This may significantly reduce attendance numbers to the session.
If you have any questions, please contact TASB Events. We look forward to reading your submission!
